Related MCP server: HueMCP

Usage

Run the MCP server:

• turn_on: Turn on a Switcher device (with optional timer)

• turn_off: Turn off a Switcher device

• get_device_info: Get detailed device information

Device Discovery

First, run device discovery to find your Switcher devices:

# This will scan the network for ~5 seconds and return discovered devices
# Note the device_id, ip_address, and device_key for subsequent operations

Device Control

To control devices, you'll need:

• device_id: Unique identifier from discovery

• ip_address: Device IP address from discovery

• device_key: Authentication key from discovery

Configuration

The server uses the aioswitcher Python library to communicate with Switcher devices locally. No cloud connection required.
